For Beginners:
For the new trader, the trend continuation patterns are easier to manage.
Newcomers should stick to trend-following patterns until they feel very confident!
Here are Three Entry Choices:
1 - Conservative -
Wait until the bar closes to enter - This is the easiest to execute.
2 - Conservative to Aggressive -
Woodie would like the beginner to enter the market if, with 20 seconds left in the bar, a valid CCI pattern presents itself.
3 - Very Aggressive -
Enter trade as soon as the bar indicates a signal during price bar formation. This is for experienced traders, as the signal conditions are final at the close of the bar and the intra-bar changes are not recorded.
Your implicit learned skills are put to the test here. Be fair to yourself and allow yourself time to grow and improve your skills.
You are strongly urged to follow the Option 2.
